When you create a new Invoice for a Customer with a foreign Currency, the Currency and conversion rate field will be filled by FirstOffice as soon as you specify the Customer. The Currency is shown in the footer, taken from the Sales Currency field on the 'Terms' card of the Customer record, and cannot be changed. However, if the Currency field in the Customer record is blank, you can use any Currency in an Invoice as necessary.

The current conversion rate is shown on the new 'Currency' card of the Invoice:

In the example illustration, the home Currency is Pounds Sterling (GBP) and the foreign Currency is Japanese Yen (JPY). JPY 188.05 buys GBP 1.00: this conversion rate is taken from the latest record for the Invoice Date in the Exchange Rate register. If you wish to change the conversion rate, you can do so (if so allowed by the Prevent Foreign Rate Changes option for the Currency in question), but note that the change will apply to this Invoice only. In general, if the Exchange Rate has changed, you should first go to the System module and enter the relevant Rate before you start the day's invoicing.
